Resumen
Descripción
The following document is the report of an internship within the context of the Kagera Transboundary Agro-ecosystem Management Project (Kagera TAMP – GCP/RAF/424/GFF) undertaken with the Land and Water Division (NRL) of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) from 22 September, 2010 until 20 December, 2010 based in Kigali, Rwanda. The work aimed at identifying and gaining an overview of the status quo of incentives for ecosystem service provision within the East African region and the Kag era riparian countries. The special focus was on drawing on existing payments for ecosystem service (PES) schemes in the region, as well as finding information on authorities, stakeholders and organizations active on the concept in the region and in particular in Rwanda. This report is furthermore intended to launch the debate on the role PES may play within the advance of the Kagera TAMP and on the role that the project managers/FAO may have in supporting capacity building on PES in the four co untries, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
